Designed to accompany Forging America by Steven Hahn, this sourcebook provides a diverse set of documents that situates U.S. History within a continental framework. Covering political, social, and cultural history, the nearly 100 selections--including thirty-two visual documents--are intended to spark discussion in the classroom and give students a deeper understanding of America's history. A general introduction on how to read primary sources provides students with guidance for working with documents. Headnotes and reading questions provide context and thinking prompts.
